In reply to the discussion: You remember that big anti-organic food study last week? Guess who funded it. [View all]fasttense
(17,301 posts)It was obvious that the research was done to discourage the purchasing of organic or Certified Naturally Grown (CNG) foods and to push conventionally grown, pesticide laden, corporate foods. With that in mind, the study still said (or at least the articles about the study) organic food tasted better, had a whole lot less pesticides in the blood systems of subjects who ate organic foods, and prevented antibiotic resistant diseases.
So if you consider the fact that the scientists were accepting money from Cargill and company yet still the study let slip out some seriously positive attributes of organic and CNG foods, what other long term benefits might organic and CNG foods actually have?
It was a hot topic at the Farmer's Market last week and most people pretty well knew that the study was done by corporate paid scientists.
